Serena Williams says it’s unfair she’s drug tested more

LONDON (AP) — Serena Williams says she thinks it isn’t fair that she has been drug tested more than other American tennis players this year.

Williams said at a pre-tournament news conference at Wimbledon: “Just test everyone equally.”

She was asked about the issue on Sunday because of a recent Deadspin story that said Williams had been checked five times in 2018 by last month, more than other U.S. women and men in the sport.

Williams returned to competition this season after missing more than a year as a result of pregnancy.
